I haven't seen this mentioned on this list yet, but the latest version of the blackdown version of java has been built with gcc 3.2. It's mozilla plugin works perfectly in gcc 3.2 builds of mozilla. The famed news ticker on news.bbc.co.uk is ticking nicely :) Get it from blackdown.org
Thanks for the tip, Anders. I downloaded it from the Suse ftp site, along with Mozilla 1.2.1, and installed as per instructions. If the 'famed news ticker' is that which appears near the top of the BBC news page, it seems to be working (the status line shows the applet name, and the ticker ticks!). However, when I start mozilla, I do see the following error messages (repeated twice): LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/SunJava2-1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/usr/lib/SunJava2-1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: __vt_17nsGetServiceByCID] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] Should I be worried about these? All right, libflashplayer is not there, I guess I need to get a copy from somewhere if I want to use Flash, but it presumably has to have been compiled under gcc3 (?) What about libjavaplugin_oji? Is it no longer needed? The blackdown jre contains javaplugin_oji; is this the same thing? How do I stop mozilla looking at the 1.3.1 JRE? I don't see any conf file, and I can't uninstall it; (openOffice uses it)? Cheers, TonyB
